Chapter 744: Stop Seducing Me

When the party was over, word spread that Heather and Alexander were dating.

Of course, the fact that a clown named Allen Christopher who had wanted to attach himself to the Denmark family with fake earrings was also spread as a joke after that. Of course, some people had noticed that both men share the surname Christopher and wondered if they might be related, but no one paid much attention to them because of their surnames.

Heather knew that, but she didn’t mind the rumors. As a newcomer to H & C Inc., she had a lot to learn. Of course, it was also because she thought the working world was pretty new and fun.

The fall flagship clothes of H & C Inc. had been decided with Heather’s designs. When the design department had finished the proposal, Mr. Wilson, the head of the department, directly asked Heather to send the final proposal to Alexander.

Although Mr. Watson didn’t know Heather’s identity, the entire design department knew that Heather was the most important newcomer to Alexander, so they were very happy to give Heather a job like this. Holding the proposal, Heather went to the President’s office on the top floor.

She knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

Suddenly, a woman’s voice sounded behind her. “Are you... the newcomer in the design department?”

Heather looked back. Behind her was Helena Harrison, one of Alexander’s secretaries. Heather had been to the President’s office a few times before and had seen her. The two of them had never spoken to each other directly.

“Hello, Helena. I’m Heather Denmark, a newcomer to the design department,” replied Heather politely.

An insidious light flashed quickly in Helena’s eyes.

She had been at Alexander’s side as his secretary for years. She was so close to such a wonderful man that it was very hard for her not to feel an attraction for him.

Although Alexander had been cold to her, he had also been cold to other women, so her heart had been balanced. However, when Heather showed up, the balance was completely broken.

She had never seen Alexander pay so much attention to a woman. Many a time, she had seen by accident Alexander sneaking glances at Heather, and when he looked at her, there was a happy, contented look on his face.

Why could Heather make him act like that?

While Heather looked very beautiful and was a very talented newcomer, Helena didn’t think she was inferior to Heather at all.

What angered her most was that she had heard rumors in the company that Heather was the newcomer that Alexander valued the most and that their relationship was not easy. Many people had even seen the two of them alone many times.

In addition to a romantic relationship, what other relationship could a man and a woman have in private? These rumors must have gone out of Heather’s mouth, and she wanted to compete unfairly with her relationship with the President!

Helena clenched her teeth at the thought of it.

She stepped forward. “What can I do for you?”

Heather was in a daze. She didn’t know if it was her delusion, but she could tell that it seemed Helena didn’t like her.

That was strange. It was clear that they hadn’t had any connection before.

“I’ve come to deliver some papers to the president,” Heather said politely.

Helena held out her hands. “The President is in a meeting and out of the office. Give me the papers, and I’ll give them to him later.”

Heather was secretly reluctant, but she seemed to have no reason to refuse.

So she would not be able to see Alexander today. Heather was a little disappointed at the bottom of her heart.

“What? Have you not come to deliver the papers but for some other purpose?” Helena sneered and questioned.

Heather frowned slightly and looked up sharply at Helena.

Helena was uncomfortable. Somehow, for an instant, it seemed to her that Heather had read her mind! How was that possible? She was just a newcomer in the company, how could she have such a strong aura!

Heather looked away as she decided not to argue with Helena. She came here for work instead of falling in love, so she didn’t need to make herself look special.

“Thank you, Helena.” Heather gave the papers to Helena and ordered, “Helena, the papers are a trade secret. Please be sure to hand them to the President.”

Helena was frowning with displeasure. “Are you questioning my professionalism?”

Heather was speechless. Okay. It looked like Helena really didn’t like her.

Helena snorted and left with the papers.

Heather frowned slightly. Somehow, she had an uneasy feeling at the bottom of her heart.

Helena came back to the office with the papers and opened them unwillingly.

It was said that the company was using Heather’s designs to be the fall flagship clothes. Heather was a newcomer. Even if she was talented, could she be stronger than the top designers in the company?

However, when her eyes fell on the designs, she was completely shocked!

How could these clothes... be so beautiful? Were they really designed by Heather?

Helena’s heart was inexplicably filled with despair.

As a secretary who was able to be around Alexander, she originally had a good eye. She could tell that they would definitely become hot as soon as the clothes hit the market, and Heather, their designer, would become even more valuable.

At that time, Alexander would pay more attention to Heather!

No, she would never let that happen!

Clenching her teeth, Helena took out her phone, snapped the designs, and sent them directly to H & C Inc.’s rival company.

Heather went back to her office and sent Alexander a message about the proposal.

No sooner had the message been sent than her phone rang.

Heather looked at Alexander’s name in bewilderment.

Wasn’t he in a meeting? How could he call her at such a time?

Heather held out her finger to hang up the phone, but her hand slipped by accident and pressed the “answer” button.

She picked up the phone with resignation and asked in a low voice, “Aren’t you in a meeting?”

“Yes,” he smiled faintly, “but nothing is more important than yours.”

In a flash, she felt her face turn red.

“Heather,” he sighed helplessly, “there is something urgent in our branch office. I’ll have to go to Country D on business this afternoon. I’ll be out for about three days.”

She was a little surprised. “In such a hurry?”

“Yes,” his eyes sparkled slightly, “would you like to come with me?”

She wanted to go, but soon she smiled and refused, “Stop seducing me. I don’t want to have some special treatment, and the design department needs me now. So come back as early as possible.”

“Alright then...” he was a little helpless and said, “Wait for me to come back.”

However, hardly had Alexander gone on a business trip when something happened to H & C Inc.

The second day, Heather felt uneasy somehow as she felt something bad would happen.
